Well, I am not sure when this started. I don't know if it was Mathew and RB or Me vs Ming and Chris. Whatever it was that has these boards of ours worked into a a mad house, lets end it. Every time I get on here some one is getting into it with someone else. I am so sick of it. I know that I don't have to read the threads, but then why do I come here. Its getting uncomfortable. I know that I am not the only one who thinks so.
I don't know what is going on here, I really don't. Lets give it a rest huh guys and gals. Whatever "beefs" you have wit each other "squash dat shit". Forshizzl. :)
I long for the old days when this place was fun and the debates were fun , not depressing and mean.
So, in honor of what I hope is a unanimous consent to move on to more fun days, lets have a little party?
I got a full bar here, and we now have a few more ladies on the board, lets have a little fun!!!!!!!!
What do you all say?
If only I weren't working right now...

I also agree. To borrow a phrase from that sage, Ace Ventura, "One must forego the self to attain total spiritual creaminess, and avoid the chewy chunks of degradation."
As always, we can't go wrong if we just let love be our guide...

somehow it went from birds, to bird sex, to kid beating, to just crazyness. I've only been gone (sorta) a couple of days. You damn kids, I blame hippity hop music.
Didnt Jesus say "Grow up children and cut the shit?" Amen.
Didnt Jesus say "Grow up children and cut the shit?" Amen.
Jesus turned the water into wine, so drink up. You know, that's something I never understood about Baptists- Jesus partook of the vino, so why should we not drink and be merry? Grapes were God's gift, as well as hops, and just as much as His son was. Maybe I should have layed off the hooch this evening but my issues demand some lubrication. When is it enough? I mean between wto people? I've been drinking for about three hours and maybe I'm too upset and pissed of to for tit to have the proprer effedt, but tell me why?
That makes no fucking sense-
I mean, isn't love enough to carry you across the chasm of uncertainty? Should not love be enough of a reason for a person to make a leap of faith? I've always been an advoctae of independence, but isn't relying upon your significant other a part of any relationship? interdependency, taking on the obstacles together and overcoming them, becoming stronger in the end? Isn't that what's it's about? Growing stronger through and in each other in times of hardship and need? FUCK! When is love enough?
Sorry, this should be in the "I'm drunk" thread...

Honestly, I think the reason that Generation-whatever-the-fuck-the-media-has-labeled-it-this-time would benefit if they had a deep rooted loathing of the Beatles. I am not saying they weren't fantastic musicians; Revolver is one of the best albums to ever grace my ears. However, too many people use the excuse, "Well, it won't be as good as the Beatles, so why even try." Not only does it lead to cookie-cutter mentality, it carries other social significance.
Everyone of us whose parents divorced, the parents that introduced us to the Beatles as good music, chanting the mantra, "All You Need is Love," shouldn't have to dig very deep to realize that the Beatles are liars.
I say that's at least half of us.

Grapes were God's gift, as well as hops, and just as much as His son was. I once worked with a guy who was in AA. I told him my comical interpretation of the Bible...that it is all about getting drunk and spreading your seed. He apparently didn't realize that I was joking. He missed the next four days of work.

I'd agree. We have to check each other and remind each other who we are sometimes, because we're here to exchange thoughts, but the Shoot isn't exactly a debate forum--it's here to have fun primarily, at least in my opinion. If it's not fun, we're doing something wrong. However, little spikes in the wavelength aren't anything to worry about--when things get too crazy, Chris steps in anyway.

I don't really see why people really hate or like the Beatles, unless it's for some underlying message you think they spread (what I think Robbo is saying). I've always liked hearing their tunes on the radio when they came on, but they never really changed my outlook on life or influenced me to make a life-altering decision. I believe they've had a big effect on society, but I personally don't think they're that consequential, unless you're just really void of meaning already and open to some big message like, "all you need is love". By the way, I was being facetious with jk in my earlier post ;)

I guess my ramblings applied to the current confilcts on the 'shoot as well. I'd had an arguement with my fiancee last night about her moving here and finding a job as opposed to sending resumes over the internet and then moving. Hell, I've been here for 15 months and she hasn't gotten a single response through her internet campaign... I don't know how much longer I can wait.

It's funny, when I was living in Michigan and looking for a job, the advice my mom always gave me was that looking on the Internet wasn't enough, that you had to get out and pound the pavement.
Personally, I don't even want to work for a company that doesn't recruit on the Internet. Every job I've had in the last 5 years has been found by looking on the Internet, getting responses on the Internet, and being recruited via the Internet.
That said, I think I understand your fiancee's point of view, too- I'd be loath to move somewhere new without a job, as well- unless, of course, I was already jobless...in that case, there would be nothing holding me back.
Hmm, sounds vaguely familiar....oh yeah, I was destitute when I met Denyse, then I moved to California, found a job (eventually) and am currently employed at a pretty good job, making more money thatn I EVER made in Michigan!
15 months with NO responses? Are you sure she's actually looking?

That's what we argue about.
She wants a job in PR, highly competitive and very much the kind of job where face time will give her the edge in the application process. I don't know anymore... I'm making twice her salary and can afford to pay her bills for the short amount of time it would actually take for her to get a job. That's her arguement- she doesn't want to put any more stress on me... That's crap, because her not being here is more stressful than anything I've ever endured. (and I've endured enough to make anyone else crack) She wants to be fiancially independent (and yet she still lives with mom and dad!?)
I look in the AJC and there are twenty pages of jobs in the Sunday edition. I look on the internet and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs in the Atlanta area. I'm not the kind of guy who can give an ultimatum where love is concerned, but I'm not getting any younger and neither is she.

Well, putting your finances in someone else's hands is never an easy thing to do- someone who is used to making their own money is not going to have an easy time suddenly leaving the earning up to someone else- it's a matter of independence and pride. Sounds to me (and I hope I don't hurt your feelings by saying this, as it's not my intent) that maybe she is looking for reasons NOT to move.
I mean, 15 months? Anyone can find a job in 15 months, and probably get paid to relocate, too.
As far as the ultimatum- I have NEVER had good luck giving women ultimatums. I don't mean to be sexist, I'm merely saying that, in my own narrow experience, those of the female persuasion do not respond well to that kind of thing.

He is right on that one. I don't have any advice that WILL work, but I'd suggest, be sweet, paint a picture in her mind of how wonderful it will be. Don't even think about ultimatums, unless you're ready to sign off on her.

That goes without saying, but how you handle yourself while your angry says a lot about who you are. Anger can be expressed easily by just saying why you are angry and defending your point. When you resort to petty name calling it becomes high school again, I did that once.
My only point is that if it is obvious that you are going to have it out with some one then try and be respectful. Unless its a newb:) . If you can't be respectful the PM them and keep it off the boards. I don't think that is too much to ask.
The day we stop treating each other with respect is the day I leave this board for good. Which may not bother any of you but it bothers me cuz I like it here.

I think people get down on love because they expect it to be happy and sweet all the time. It takes a lot of self-sacrifice -- you have to put the needs of the people you love ahead of your own sometimes, and when the other person isn't willing to do that, it falls apart.
It's like a kayak -- you go fast if you both paddle together, but if one person can't paddle, the other has to be willing to give them a free ride for a while. The problems start when one person finds him/herself paddling alone all the time.
So I guess all you need is love and a couple of paddles.

Dude, the last person you want to hear this from is some random, anonymous jerk on a message board, but, it sounds to me like this girl isn't feeling the whole marriage "vibe"- 15 months in a job search without a single hit is pretty damn unrealistic...that ultimatum plan may be all that is left.

I've never had any luck with long distance relationships either, unless you count the bad kind.
I don't know you or the situation well enough to tell you anything really helpful. I do think I understand your frustration, but I certainly am not qualified to give advice that may lead to the end of your relationship. If she's worth holding out for , then hold out. If not, start shopping for a new one.
I still recommend against ultimatums, if it were me I would stop returning calls/e-mails for while. Let her worry just a little bit (a week, maybe two ) and experience what her life will be like without you.
Again, that's just what I would do , but let me reitterate the disclaimer. I am not qualified to give relationship advice.

That's very true...
In light of the recent trip to the ER, I think she's real worried now. I've got to go lie down..
The only downside to that is, what if you never hear from her again?
Wouldn't it be better to find that out now, than in 7 more months? I also don't know JK's situation, but i can tell you this, as a survivor of a long distance relationship myself, start opening you options just a little.
I was in a long distance relationship, a quite serious one, that didn't work out. Sure we called each other all the time, but our relationship suffered from lack of quality face time together, i was broke from flying to Washington DC all the time to see her (she came to see me only once) and after a while i decided it wasn't worth it. I opened my mind to the possiblity of meeting another girl, and i found one. During this time i was still talking to the girl in DC, just enough to screw with my head, and my heart, but eventually i just cut it off and moved on with my life. And then i married the girl i met down here, so i have to say everything worked out just fine.
I think JK needs to decide what is best for himself, and do that. Agian i don't know his story, but just stating what my experience has taught me.

Surprisingly, that is the best thing to eat at Disneyland- the pulled pork sandwich in the "French Quarter" section of the park. Other than that, their food SUUUUUUUUCKS.
It's interesting how different sections of the country use different words of the same thing. In these parts,Barbeque (or BBQ) (http://www.dreamlandbbq.com/tuscaloosa/menu.asp) is a type of food, usually smoked pork, not an action. What you are talking about is referred to as grilling, even if you are cooking barbeque. (unless you are using a smoker, in which case that's "makin' BBQ".
Anyway, i'm swinging by Dreamland on the way home and getting some ribs. JK, there are 2 Hot'lanta locations, they cant be as good as the one in Tuscaloosa (check out that menu, linked above, just ribs and bread), but I urge you to try it out and see how you likes it. :)
The one in Roswell is only six miles away... looks damn good. I will definitely check it out.
you can ride your bike there after you heal up.

I know i just got back... but the whole fun of this place is ragging on things. In fact, this place was made for that. Let's go back to 2001 for a moment...
The film: Jay and Silent Bob strike back
The time: Probably 4:20, who knows.
The point: They went onto this site (moviepoopshoot.com, in case your not paying attention) to find that there were people ragging on them. In it's original context of Jay and Silent Bob this site was just a place to make fun of movies and people.
